Importing data into SQL server 2008 R2 from MYSQL 5.5
Hi,
I'm new to MYSQL and need to export data from MYSQL into SQL Server. I have tried downloading a ODBC driver onto the machine however I get an architecture mis match message when trying to use SSIS to create the connection or using import/export method from SQL Server.
I have also tried using a linked server however get this message:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Conne
--------------------------
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "CODA_IMPACT".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "CODA_IMPACT" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)
Can you please advise what the best method is for this. I am a SQL server DBA and have very little experience of MYSQL!
Many Thanks in advance
Anita

Thanks! This is a very interesting post and I have learmt a few things regarding MYSQL.
Is there a direct way to do this? We would like to avoid additional steps if possible, hwoever this is a very good alternative!

if by "direct way" you meen automation, if you cant get the connectors to SSIS, and dont what or cant use / buy 3rd party apps. schedule the export on one side, to a share, and schedule the import on the SQL Server side.

Sorry, I meant, direct from MYSQL to SQL server via ODBC/Linked Server/SSIS etc.
I have tried following some posts on creating linked servers and ODBC connections but come across errors. The closest we have got is my colleague using import/exprt tool and ODBC from SQL server and getting an error (see attached word doc.
